Demagogues and Pedagogues

Proclaimed the trunk to His roots: A demagogue teaches and preaches as my head trunk talks down to my frontline branches Lesser beings who had best listen and learn my stern and often punishing expectations Explained the roots to Her much-loved trunk: A pedagogue first listens at the refining foot of a sacred grassroot system To serve compassionate communication, inclusive problem-solving, celebrating win/win peak experiences of resonantly embodied promise, harmony, musicality, integrity, synergy, transparency, vulnerability to multiculturally omniscient expansion. Demagogues require retribution to survive against win/lose zero-sum competitions threatening capital-headed bloating at the crown While pedagogues invite restoration of fully embodied thrival and win/win uncompromised revival, Faith in nonzero sum polyculturally active, deeply saturating communication, rooted in past peak communion courageously curious experiences.
